Add users to databases in Availability Groups

Question

Hello,
I created a database.
On instance level I selected Security | Logins and added some users.
I granted the users a number of roles on the database I created.
I added the database to an Availability group. Now two replicas of the database are on two servers.
When I look on the server that is running the secondary replica the users have not been added to the users on instance level. Is that going to work fine after a failover?
Should I add the users to the Instance(s) of other cluster members before I restore the database? That would make sense.
I cannot find any documents that tell me about creating users in databases that have been added to an availability group.
Best regards,
Erik

Thanks for you answer.
I used sp_help_revlogin to script out the logins the applications and users need to connect to the database, including their SIDs, and executed it on the secondary replicas servers
so that it is available.
I have done that before I restored the database on the secondary replica servers.
I guess I have to run sp_help_revlogin every time I add a user on the primary server.
Best regards,
Erik
If it is a windows login, it will have the same SID across the domain so no need to run sp_help_rev_login, you can directly create the login in the secondary and the mapping is taken care itself with the database user. If you are creating SQL Logins
you need to script it out using sp_help_rev_login for the secondary server.
If you are willing to automate this activity, Please explore " ssis package to transfer logins" and try to customize it to your need and schedule it as a job.
